I haven't, but the cookbook store in Westmount (Appetite for Books) often gives courses on basic knife skills. They don't have their winter schedule up yet, but I imagine it'll be posted in the next month or so.

Talking about Appetite for Books they are carrying a new book called "The complete Book of Knife Skills" by Jeffrey Elliot (Head of Chef relations at Henckels ) It is easy to follow and very good. Worth the price.
